Come enjoy this picturesque beauty with an inviting covered front porch, leading to a totally lovely collection of bright, comfortable spaces. This circa 1920 home has been extensively renovated over the years, blending timeless charm with modern convenience. This stately five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence spans four finished levels, showcasing exceptional architectural details, including custom millwork, hardwood floors, updated lighting, and a completely redesigned chef’s kitchen and dining area. The welcoming foyer features a powder room and leads to a light-filled living room with recessed lighting. The open dining room seamlessly connects to the kitchen, the living room, and the rear patio, creating a wonderful flow for entertaining. A modern chandelier adds character, while new sliding doors provide direct access to the backyard and stone patio. The thoughtfully designed kitchen includes honed stone counters, an island with a built-in wine rack and butcher block cutting board, a professional-grade Wolf six-burner gas range with matching exhaust hood, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a built-in spice rack, pendant and recessed lighting, and a convenient desk area. The second level offers three bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, including the spacious primary suite with a modern ceiling fan, a versatile office / walk-in closet, and a private bath. The renovated primary bathroom features porcelain tile flooring, an oversized vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower with glass tile accents. The bright and adaptable third level can serve as a bedroom, playroom, or additional living space. This floor features front and rear-facing Palladian windows and exceptional eaves storage. The lower level includes a bonus room with recessed lighting, two storage rooms, a laundry area, and a workshop. Additionally, the basement is equipped with a waterproofing system for added durability and peace of mind. The fenced backyard is a serene outdoor retreat with a flagstone patio, a covered front porch, a stone pathway, and a detached garage with a shared driveway. The prime location, just steps to numerous new restaurants, shops and farmer’s market, is also close to the municipal library and community center and just blocks from schools K-8, all while being less than half a mile from Takoma Metro. This home is ideally positioned near both downtowns - Takoma Park and Silver Spring - and several local parks. Experience the vibrant energy and eclectic charm of Takoma Park while enjoying the convenience of easy access to shopping, dining, and transportation. See you there!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
